Watch Loudoun report presentation video. Names of injured FFs and EMT from Meadowood Court now released.
The press conference on Saturday, September 13, of the Loudoun County, VA, report about the Meadowood Court fire was, to my knowledge, not widely covered in the electronic news media (at least that’s how I like to portray anything that I miss). Here’s a chance to view it for yourself.
On September 16, an audio-visual presentation was made to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. Click here to bring up the video player and agenda. Then click number “5” under Roman numeral “IV” in the agenda to the right of the screen with the heading, “Meadowood Court Incident Review/Investigation Update (Pozzo)”. It will take you right to that portion of the video.

I noticed something else interesting happened at the September 16 meeting. For the first time since the May 25 fire, the names of all seven fire and and EMS personnel injured that day have been officially released. Prior to the Board of Supervisors meeting where they were honored, the only name made public was that of Lt. John “Bones” Earley. Lt. Earley was the most seriously injured. The department put his name in an August 5 press release announcing Lt. Earley’s return from the hospital.
So, for the first time on STATter 911, here are all the names:
Captain Micah Kiger, Lieutenant John Earley, Lieutenant William Graham, Technician Christopher Grubb, Firefighter Jackie Shingleton, Firefighter Brandy Lapole and EMT Natalie Martz (York).
To watch the this part of the video, click on number “1” under Roman numeral “IV”, where it says “Resolution of Appreciation”.
